  1. The only thing that makes sense to me is, if 'local io' refers to an agent the OP is using. There are no local io's, that are based outside immigration offices. It would be useful, but I never heard of it in Thailand. It would still be helpful to know what visa or extension the OP is talking about.
  2. I must be missing something. Referring to forest fires as hotspots is common practice, I use it that way on a day-to-day basis. I do admit not being a native speaker and mainly working with government agencies in South-East Asia.
  3. Exactly, that is what I did, made a TP registration for arrival 29 April. After getting the approval I changed tickets to arrival on May 1 and cancelled the SHA+ hotel. TP is valid for 7 days before and after the registered arrival. After my application for a COE was approved last year, the quarantine was reduced from 7 days to just one (as well as a change to TP). I simply cancelled the 7 day quarantine booking and made a one night booking with the same hotel. That was accepted and I expect that for the change on May 1, the same applies. The rule change is for arrival from May 1 onwards. In the past reductions in quarantine period have been linked to the date of arrival, not when the registration was made.
  4. I flew from PP to BKK a few weeks back (when no direct flights were available, there are now with Thai Smile I think). No issues, standard arrival with the PCR test and one night in SHA hotel. I will go back early January. There are no quarantine requirements at the moment for fully vaccinated travellers travelling from Thailand to Cambodia, just a PCR test 72 hours before arrival and then a rapid test on arrival. That may change in the coming days.
  5. Getting the advice to try the Thailand Pass while the COE web-site is still up and running is a bit weird. Maybe a local embassy issue. Here in Phnom Penh they don't have that much to do. Well, instead of nobody waiting for a visa application there were a grand total of 5 people at the embassy, this past Tuesday morning. Since Thailand Pass is no longer done by embassy staff perhaps they can't be bothered with COE anymore. I have heard people getting a very quick approval, for their Thailand Pass application, but you are right that seems to be hit and miss.
  6. About applications for COE being refused, that may depend on when (and where) you applied for the COE. I got mine for travel on 13 November. It was approved on 31 October, by the Thai embassy in Cambodia. No new COE applications are accepted from 1 November onwards, but COE applications in progress can still be granted if all necessary information and documents are supplied by 7 November. Approved COEs for travel after 1 November, don't suddenly get cancelled because there is a new system announced. There is no cut-off for COE, just for the date by which a COE must be approved.
  7. Not sure if this is a serious question, but at least Hong Kong is normally considered a territory, not a country, these are often listed separately. Taiwan probably is mentioned separately to not offend China.
